horse and buggy in which Estes

made the trip.

Colorado for twenty-seven years, and
should you make burnt offering of
the entire republican party it would
avail you nothing as far as the re-
celyer is concerned, for he has no
power to handle the pap. So III
your future criticisms hit the Regis
ter he is big strong follow and can
stand it.
